Roger Stein on Beyer on Zenyatta

[blackthroatedwind]

Lenny Shulman, who a few days earlier had disagreed with me over Zenyatta on Byk's show, cowardly referred to me as an " idiot " on Roger Stein's show.

You really have to wonder what is wrong with these people. Horse racing has always created disagreement among its followers. This is a good thing. It's not personal, how could it be, but with Zenyatta somehow her followers have turned it into a good versus evil debate. It's sad.

I wonder how many serious bettors are on the Schulman, Stein, et al. side of things. I doubt it's many.

Roger Stein............wow taking anything that guy says serious is funny.

I've listened to Stein's show in the past from time to time - when the living legend Aaron Hesz was his co-host... luckily I was alerted to this piece of comedy through facebook.

wow, he says "beyer sounds like he just woke up from a drunken stupor", also his guest states " he is out of his mind". Also they rip to shreds his #'s and how they are made. Only item I disagreed with is when they said ZIppy Chippy should not have considered for HOY. OMG, they say listening to beyer will "make you want to go home and beat your children, Beyer is sick". All this because he said Z is not one of the all time greats?

To be fair - in hearing the context of what those three had to say - I would be proud if they said that stuff about me.

Stein refers to something being "wrong" with Zenyatta early in the race as the reason she is so far behind as though this is common knowledge. Does he ever clarify what is wrong?

Maybe he was refering to you as an "idiot" in a Boston Red Sox fashion.

I agree with you regarding Shulman's comments. He ignored the aspect that as a handicapper, you are trying to beat Zenyatta. Particularly given her popularity at the windows. I disagree with one thing however and that the good versus evil debate is so one-sided. Unfortunately there are folks on both sides of this that appear to have a vendetta of sorts.

I am a huge fan of Z but am not looking to run everyone down that expresses disagreement. It is an important part of the game.
